Tanzania National Parks
Signs Agreement
With Sandy Dhuyvetter and TravelTalkMEDIA
to Create TV Commercial
|
(August 23, 2008 – San Diego,
CA)
–
Sandy Dhuyvetter, Executive
Producer and Host of
TravelTalkMEDIA, RADIO and TV,
announced today that TTM will
produce a television commercial
and magazine advertisements
aimed at promoting the Tanzania
National Parks (TANAPA).
The commercial will be aired on
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the
advertisements will be featured
in Airguide Publications, Inc.
and the Holland Herald Magazine.
Insertions and broadcasting of
the ads will take place in the
next year during a six-month
campaign.
“We are honored and delighted to
be working with such a dynamic
organization as TANAPA in
promoting the natural beauty,
wildlife and people within
Tanzania’s national parks system
to international audiences,”
said Dhuyvetter. “With
approximately one-fourth of the
country set aside as natural
parks for conservation and
preservation, TANAPA has a huge
responsibility to both the
people of Tanzania and citizens
of the world which it carries
out diligently and
professionally. The national
parks of Tanzania are one of our
planet’s most unique and
wondrous treasures and truly
something we hope everyone will
be able to visit and experience.
Our goal will be to get people
to put the national parks of
Tanzania high up on their list
of destinations to visit.”
The commercial will highlight
some of the country’s many
natural wonders, including
Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest
mountain and the Serengeti
National Park. The commercial
and advertising will emphasize
the uniqueness and wonder of the
safari experience, including
night safaris, walking safaris
and safaris by boat and balloon.
The spectacular Serengeti
migration, which the
TravelTalkMEDIA crew captured on
camera while visiting the
country recently, will also be
shown. The year-round Serengeti
migration is one of the most
well known animal migrations in
the world and about 10 months of
this awe inspiring event occur
within the borders of Tanzania.
In
addition to showcasing the vast
diversity of the animal life,
the people of the Tanzania
National Parks will play a
significant role in the TV
commercial, including the
indigenous people of the region,
the Massai, and the local game
wardens.
In
addition to the footage filmed
by the TravelTalkMEDIA crew
showcasing the beautiful lodges
of the region will also be shown
in the commercial and native
Tanzanian music will be
featured.

About TANAPA -
The Tanzanian Parks
Authority (TANAPA) was
created in 1959 to oversee the
growing roster of national parks
within the country. There are
currently 15 National Parks
maintained and administered by
TANAPA: Arusha, Gombe, Katavi,
Kilimanjaro, Kitulo, Lake
Manyara, Mahale, Mikumi, Mkomazi,
Ruaha, Rubondo, Serengeti,
Tarangire and Udzungwa. The
National Parks constitute
approximately 25% of the total
land area of Tanzania. No
hunting is allowed in the
National Parks and all flora and
fauna are offered total
protection. Tanzania National
Parks is a parastatal
organization meaning that it
operates as a fully
self-financing governmental
entity completely without any
governmental subsidy. Every cent
a visitor spends in park fees
goes back to the protection and
maintenance of the National
Parks system. TANAPA's highest
body is its Board of Trustees
and the Director General of the
organization is Mr. Gerald
Bigurube.
